• At Calvary – Ep 26 – The Glory of Gospel Thinking

  When we think about Christianity from the perspective of being good people, good neighbors, and avoiding doing “the bad stuff”, I wonder if we aren’t missing something. I wonder if we aren’t missing the glory of living and seeing life through the gospel. On Android you can find past episodes here: Of course, you can…

• At Calvary – Ep 25 – Families and Patriotism

• 4th of July Thoughts

  Wow! Another 4th of July.  Happy Birthday America! As I think about July 4th, I think about all the history of those days.  I think of the people whose lives were made harsher as tyranny increased.  I think about how the founding fathers grew more and more impatient with the conditions that they found themselves. …

• At Calvary – Ep 24 – Fitly Spoken Words

  What does God mean by a word fitly spoken? He says that they are as valuable or as beautiful as apples of gold in a setting of silver. Do we value it? Do we show it by doing it? On Android you can find past episodes here: Of course, you can always find all of…

• The Confidence of Knowing God’s Love

  Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, 2 Corinthians 4:1 Did you have a grandmother like mine? In my grandmother’s house there were smells and expressions that told me I was loved and safe. Smiles, fresh-baked chocolate chip (or oatmeal) cookies, and hugs were common. So, there…

• Grace, Listening, Grace, Love, Grace, Patience…

  There is a word in the Christian vocabulary that we really like on one hand, but also really struggle with. The word is grace. As we see the polarization of our communities right now over our differing responses to the virus and our differing responses to the protests and civil unrest, we can clearly see…

• At Calvary – Ep 22 – Christ confidence. The God-ward way we find our ability to do what He has asked of us.

  This week we are thinking about self-confidence. It seems, in many ways, to be a slippery thing for us. Should we be talking about self confidence, or should we be talking about Christ confidence? Is this the God-ward way we find our ability to do what He has asked of us? On Android you can…

• Be An Example

  Paul said, “Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.”  Quite a statement!  It speaks of Paul’s desire to see those around him become like Jesus.  It speaks of a discipleship that was more modeling than teaching.  It also speaks of a man who was willing to let people see him for…

• At Calvary – Ep 21 – Thoughts about The Empty Nest

  This week we are thinking about the empty nest. Another one of my children has just graduated High School. This means that we are one child away from the empty nest. I just wanted to share some musings about this season of life. On Android you can find past episodes here: Of course, you can…
